Application filedfl'une 15, 19 16. Seria1 No.103,788.

To all whomc'tmayconcern Be it known that I, ABRAHAM Knrnonn, a citizen of the UnitedStates, and resident of Atlanta, in the county of Fulton and State certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain and Shade Hangers, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to curtain shades and screens and has particular reference to new and useful improvements in shade and curtain hangers.

The primary object of my invention is to provide a shade and curtain hanger of the class described which is simple in construction, strong and durable, cheap to manufacture and effective in use.

Another object of my invention is to provide a curtain and shade hanger of the class described which may be quickly and easily attached to any of the various types of windows regardless of the width of the window, the shade and curtain support being adjustable.

A further object of my invention is to provide improved means for attaching the curtain and shade hanger of my invention to a window frame or the like.

Other objects and advantages to be derived from the use of my improved curtain and shade hanger will appear from the following detail description and the claims, taken with an inspection of the accompanying drawing, in which:

Figure 1 is a front elevational view of a portion of a window frame showing my improved shade hanger applied thereto; Fi 2 is an end elevational view of the left hand bracket; Fig. 3 is a similar view of the right hand bracket; and Fig. 4 is an enlarged detail perspective view of the bracket carrying support.

Referring more particularly to the drawing, wherein similar characters of reference designate like and corresponding parts throughout the various views, 1 indicates the top portion of the window frame and 2 designates the sides thereof.

My improved curtain and shade support is composed of two separate elements in the form of bracket members 3 and 4, so designated in their entireties. Referring specifically to the bracket 3 the same is provided with an outwardly extending arm 5 provided with a hook end portion 6. The upper free end of the bracket 3 is rolled about the bar 7.21s indicated at 8, set screws 9 serving to adjust said bracket on said bar. The bar is carried in a supporting member 10 having an arm 11 extending therefrom, said arm havinga tubular portion 12on the free end thereof, in which the rod 7 is receivable. A second arm 13 is formed on the bracket 3, said arm being provided with a recess 14. A tongue 15 tapering in configuration is struck from the bracket 3 and serves to engage the face of the side 2. This serves to rigidly hold the bracket.

The bracket 4 is practically identical in cons ruction with the bracket 3, said bracket having a pair of arms 16 and 17, the arm 16 being provided with a hook portion 18, but the arm 17 being provided with an opening 19 instead of the recess 14: of the arm 13. A tongue 20 is struck from the bracket 4, similarly to the tongue 15 and for a similar purpose. The upper free end of the bracket 4 is engaged with a bar 21, similarly to the engagement of the bracket 3 with the bar 7, set screws 22 serving to fasten the bracket at adjusted positions. similar to the support member 10 vided for carrying the bar 21.

In use the bars tened to the top portion 1 of a window frame, adjacent the free ends thereof. The brackets 3 and i are now applied to the bars 7 and 21, respectively, and adjusted to the desired width. The distance between the brackets 3 and 1 is determined by the length of the shade roller, one end of the shade roller being engaged in the opening 19 and the other end is proin the recess 14. A curtain pole may be supported in the hook portions 6 and 18 of the arms 5 and 16, respectively.

Of course, I do not limit myself to any length to which the bars 7 and 21 may be made; said bars might be extended entirely across the window frame. However, the part shown in the drawing and hereinbefore described is the preferred form, in view of the flexibility of the device and the con venient adjustment of the same. It is to be understood that while sheet metal is re ferred for forming the brackets 3 and 41 I do not desire to be limited to the formation of said brackets out of such material.

From the above description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing, it is thought that a clear and comprehensive understanding of the construction, operation and advantages of my invention may be had,

A support member 23, p

iii

and While I have shown and described the device as embodying a specific structure, I desire that it be understood that such changes may be made in said structure as do not depart from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed.

Having thus fully described my invention, What I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

1. The combination, in a curtain and shade hanger, of a pair of alined bars, brackets carried thereby, curtain and shade supporting members extending from said brackets, and sharpened tongue members extending inwardly from said brackets for Copies of this patent may be obtained for five engagement With the Window frame to rigidly support the brackets.

2. In a curtain and shade hanger, the combination With a pair of bars demountably arranged on a window frame in alined relation, of a pair of bracket members slidably arranged on said bars, means for adjusting said brackets, and rearWardly extending lateral extensions carried by said brackets to engage the Window frame and support the brackets against displacement.

In testimony whereof, I atliX my signature hereto.
